Here is another #reading tip for readers who are fatigued: I often read one chapter of nonfiction at a time, especially if the book is dense. It’s a lot easier to pick up a nonfic book - even ones I enjoy - with that caveat.
@CaraLisette I focus on rereading old faves or picking a book I am PSYCHED to read instead of books I feel I “should” read. Also, when my attention is low, graphic novels! They are quick and finishing makes me feel so good
it is so evil to ask 11-year-old child actors to sign a contract into 10 years of fealty to a tv series executive produced by a bigot. it is so evil to ask that of a child and a child’s family. and you know bad, selfish parents will be pushing their vulnerable kids to the front

A thread on why I don't police language in my spaces... \1
I think it’s so funny “Gregory Eddie” is like, a last name for a first name and vice versa? (Yes Gregory can be a first name but in full, less often). And his middle name is Thompson (another last name!).
Is this on purpose, or am I just silly?? #AbbottElementary
